    Johnson & Johnson said it would delay the planned rollout of its Covid-19 vaccine in Europe after US health agencies called for a pause on the jab’s use in the US while they investigate several incidents of rare blood clots

    Scoop: The federal government is calling for a pause in use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine after 6 cases of a blood clotting disorder. A major setback for the national vaccination campaign. w/
